Grow Your Own Vegetable Garden

Hands on Gardening Classes

Start a vegetable garden from scratch


Winter Classes Start in June!

Winter bonus: Learn how to plant bare rooted fruit trees at home - Winter is the time to get planting and in a couple of years, you'll have beautiful home grown fruit


Encouraged by numerous requests for help, we're running hands on vegetable garden classes. Lots of people read up on vegetable gardens in forums and websites like this, but when it comes to putting their learning into practise, struggle with the tasks ahead.

So what are the classes all about?

Available only to residents of Greater Melbourne (for practicality/travel distance reasons) classes are to be held at our property on the Mornington Peninsula. We will cover starting your own vegetable garden from scratch, simply starting with an open piece of ground.

Some of the topics Covered:

  • Selecting a site
  • Building raised beds
  • Composting & Mulching
  • Seed raising and transplanting
  • Plant care
  • Pests & Diseases
  • Harvesting & preserving

Classes are held weekly/fortnightly depending on weather conditions and progress needs and are HANDS ON. This means that together, we will build, prepare and plant a patch from scratch, learning skills that you can then take home and apply in your own garden. As a qualified trainer with 15 years experience in training and creating training material, I have created a set curriculum for each class. On hand, we also have a qualified Horticulturalist with over 25 years experience, so you can be assured of receiving accurate advice based on facts and our combined experiences.

Come down and spend the day, learn practical skills and enjoy an espresso and our ornamental gardens whilst you're here!
